Thanks Fedex you're Swift
Speaking of safety equip my Viking RescYou 6 man offshore just
arrived. Since liferafts require special handling and ground transport Fedex might seem the best way to ship if you look at cost....and they claim to move ground freight fast. But in all this speed Fedex managed to cause the canister to come out of the shipping carton. The canistar band & seal busted as designed voiding current certification, the raft pkg spilled out of the canister on concrete no doubt, the foil vaccume bag was ripped..I bet it hissed like a snake scaring them. Here's the good part...... Fed-ex was nice enough to gather up the inflate painter that was only half deployed, wad it all up, stuff it back in the container with the safety inspection seal, stomp & smash it down real good, slide it carefully back into the box, tape it up all nice and purdy, dust it off ....and not say ONE F&%*ING word to anyone. That's people who care.... in action! Thanks Fedex you got it here in time!!!!. Joe |

That's people who care.... in action! Thanks Fedex you got it here in time!!!!. Joe- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Fedex says "I'm sorry sir, but the shipper has to file the claim." "I must arrange for pickup of the item so we can start the process" I'm not the shipper, I'm the buyer. And it took me 6 mo to find this one at a good price, and she thinks I'm going to hand it over....yeah right. So I will go ahead and take it in and have it re-certified and packed on the sellers dime. They picked Chris to box it and ship it in a flimsy cardboard box. What bugs me is fedex knew what they did and cared less. And if I do not adhere to their rules and process the insurance claim will most likely not be paid. That's my rant...oh well...every cloud has a silver lining .... the bright side is I can watch it get re-packed..toss in a few goodies.. and have a certificate that will be good for another year.
